Teaching clients that with practice they are able to overcome the urge to gamble.
Clients are encouraged to speak with a peer consultant who has had first hand experience and has completed the treatment successfully.
We offer follow up treatment to help you keep on track and monitor your progress.
Partners, significant others and family are welcome to attend to provide support where appropriate.
